  But Evelyn had never met him.

  What's more, she had never been married.

  Even though the other man's features and eyes were hidden under a draped black hood, Evelyn always felt that his eyes were stealthily falling on her. The other man lowered his head and seemed to be watching Evelyn's hands, which were clasped with his.

  Just as Evelyn noticed that his skin had a different hardness than normal humans, he also felt the softness of Evelyn's hands. Ordinary, normal human hands with skin that could be blown off, fingers that were soft and slender, and no sharp, sharp claws.

  For some reason, Evelyn suddenly felt like a puppy that had put its paws on its master's hands ......

  With a brief contact, Evelyn knew that the strangely dressed man in front of her was not human. The other man was watching her with the eyes of a scrutinizing alien, trying to determine how high or low the two of them were in the food chain.

  When he had observed enough, Evelyn heard the other man say, "I am not a king. I am the Consul of the Demons, the Queen may call me Baymont, this is the Old Realm."

  Evelyn: "............"

  Evelyn was a bit taken aback and even began to feel a bit stupid.

  The Old Realm, was it the Old Realm where the Demons of the Abyss grew and were cut off from time and space? Was it the place of exile where the New Gods imprisoned the rebels?

  Remembering the previous scene, the more Evelyn thought about it, the more she felt that it should be some kind of summoning type of evil ritual ....... Combined with the magical array on her body, it was Baymont who brought her here?

  Faced with Evelyn's doubt, Baymont nodded.

  "These people ...... "Evelyn paused, her voice was soft, cautious and careful, as if she was afraid of disturbing something that could jeopardize her own life, something terrible: "So these people ...... were killed by you?"

  "Their blood and organs were needed for the ritual that opens the way from the human world to the Old Realm." Baymont said coldly, understating the situation as if he had done nothing more than a simple little thing.

  Evelyn fell silent.

  "Queen," Baymont observed her reaction, staring motionlessly like a cat at the pitiful little ants in front of her, then asked her again, "are you afraid?"

  Evelyn pursed her lips and murmured, almost to herself, "I'd like to be, if it helps to be afraid. ......"

  The other party was the Consul of the Demon Clan, with a high status and strong. Since she had deliberately brought herself to this place, there must be a special purpose, and it had to be her.

  "Then, the 'queen' in your mouth, do you mean me?"

  Baymont said, "The demon king has only one queen, you."

  Evelyn was confused, "But I'm obviously not married."

  "......" Baymont thinks for a moment and asks her, "What's 'married'?"

  Evelyn blinks, a little out of place, but smiles anyway and says, "You call me Queen without even knowing you're married?"

  Baymont replies, "There is no such thing as 'married' in the Old Realm."

  "Uh, marriage isn't a thing, La, it's a ceremony or a contract." Evelyn didn't expect to encounter a cultural divide when she first came here, she tried her best to explain it to Baymont in layman's terms, "Two people who get married vow to have only one partner for the rest of their lives, share each other's possessions, and belong to each other alone both physically and spiritually..."

  "I see," Baymont commented briefly with a nod, "what a hideous curse.

  Evelyn: "......?"

  "Anyway, where we come from, the only people who are legally married are those who are married." Evelyn pointed out, "But I'm not married and I don't know your king, so how can I be the queen, you're confusing me with someone else."

  Baymont shook his head, unperturbed by Evelyn's words, his voice was very calm: "You have the mark left by the Demon King on your body, that's the proof that the Demon King has made a contract with you, representing that you belong to the Demon King and that you are the Queen recognized by the Demon King.

  Evelyn: "...... Why do I feel that something is not quite right? What is the purpose of this seal?"

  Baymont: "The Demon King can watch your every move, gain insight into your thoughts, and come to your side at any time. The mark enhances your body so that it is always in optimal condition for the Lich King to enjoy and feed upon. I was also able to find the queen because of the power of the signet.

  Evelyn: "......"

  Evelyn: "?"

  Compared to the Queen, she is more like a slave with no self-interest.Evelyn calmly judged that this seal is equivalent to a monitor, a mind reading technique, and a positioning system.Is the so-called Demon King's desire for control that strong? It's true. After all, he's a demon. But even if it's "fun," what's "eating"?

        ...... Ah, it's so scary when I think about it, forget it, I'd rather not think about it.

  Baymont's voice was still calm, no ups and downs at all, "A demon lord only has the chance to leave a mark once in his life, in that respect, it's the same as the 'marriage' you seek.

  Evelyn's face was blank, "...... No, no, no, I think it's completely different." This was the true malicious curse for any human.

  Cautiously, she lifted her hand and touched her shoulder, caressing it for a moment in a searching manner, as if trying to find out exactly where the mark was.Evelyn had thought of something, and her soft lips began to whiten, and her ever-focused and serious eyes wandered, as if she were going into some sort of memory.

  She hung her head, looking almost a little pathetic in her droll way.

  Baymont stared at her for a moment, as if he didn't know what "married" meant, and he didn't know what "pathetic" meant. He could only tell that Evelyn, the new queen he had summoned, was showing a subtle sense of vulnerability at the moment.

  This puzzled Baymont.

  "The name of the Demon King," Evelyn said suddenly, "I want to know the name of the Demon King."

  "His Majesty, the Demon King, is the only Demon who has ever awakened the bloodline of the Old Gods; his name is the name of the Old Gods, and no one may call the Gods by their first names." Baymont paused for a moment and told her, "But the projection of His Majesty's consciousness in the human world is called Irzey.

  Hearing this from the other party, Evelyn was stunned at first, but did not show much surprise. Based on what Baymont and Irzey had said earlier, she had also more or less guessed that ......

  "...... What about Irzey?" Evelyn blinked and whispered, "I want to see him."

  Baymont: "The Lich King is dead."

  Evelyn opens her mouth and nods, "Oh, I see.

  So he really is dead ......

  "I teleported you to the Old Realm because of this matter as well." Baymont said in a cold voice, standing next to Evelyn, his head bowed, the two strands of silver hair that fell from his hood hanging peacefully over his chest.

  "According to the traditions of the Old Empire, you, as queen, are also part of the Demon King's legacy and will be chosen by the Demon King's four sons as to whether they will inherit or not."

  Evelyn, who first knew that she was inexplicably married, and then knew that she had somehow become a young widow: ".................. ......"

  Evelyn feels like she's really close to being stupid.

  But wait...

  "I thought Irzey only had me as a queen," Evelyn asked with a less than pleasant expression, sensing something in Baymont's words, "Why should there be four more sons? Ah, is there another woman behind my back?"

  Baymont gives an "Oh" and replies, "The Demon King himself gave birth.

  Evelyn: "............"

  Evelyn: "????"

  "All demons in the Old Domain can reproduce unisexually, and the Demon King is no exception, so as long as he eats a favored object, he can give birth to a child that looks like the other one. When the Demon King unified the Old Empire, due to the lack of manpower, he simply delivered an heir that he was satisfied with, and the Demon King was able to unify the Old Empire with their credit," Baymont said, his tone very humble, "even though it was only a tiny portion and nowhere near the power of the King.

  Evelyn couldn't quite hear what Baymont was saying.

  All she could hear in her head was, "Male mom, male mom, male mom, male mom .......

  "Pfft." Evelyn thought of something and covered her mouth to laugh, but she managed to hold it in.

  As far as she could remember, Irzey had always had little common sense and couldn't even take care of herself properly. An Irzey like that giving birth? To be a mother?

        Evelyn stifled a laugh as she continued, "I have a question, what if I am not chosen to inherit? Can you send me back?"

  Baymont calmly replied, "Send you to be buried with the Demon King."

  Evelyn: "............ Are you kidding me? Please don't scare me."

  "I never joke." Baymont said in a serious voice, his black hood covering most of his face, leaving only a pale lip and paper white chin visible. He continued, "And it won't scare you."

  Evelyn's heart went cold.

  She tried to struggle a little, "So can I file for divorce?"

  Baymont: "What's a 'divorce' again?"

  "It's the dissolution of marriage, divorced two people are no longer husband and wife, and from now on they are separated and live their own lives with each other and never talk to each other ......"

  "Oh, I see, the betrayal contract," Baymont nodded with a look of understanding, "but there is no 'divorce' in the Old Domain, only betrayal. Will you betray the Demon King? The Queen."

  The vision of the other man, hidden under a black hood, loomed and moved like a viper.

  Evelyn was certain that if she said the wrong thing, she would definitely, absolutely, without a doubt, die here.

  Evelyn had to silently cover her mouth and shake her head.

      Next, Evelyn learned some brief information about the Old Empire from Baymont.  The Old Empire is an endless land with no boundaries, stretching out in all directions, with the capital city where the Demon King resides as the center, and all kinds of demons grow in it, and when they reach a certain limit, they become the "Abyss," where the signs of creatures are extinguished, and where no demons have ever set foot, or where there is no way to return. Therefore, no one knows exactly how big the Old Realm is.  At the same time, the "isolation" of the Old Realm is one-sided for all of space and time, so it is not impossible for other realms to come to the Old Realm, but it is impossible to leave the Old Realm after arriving.  In addition, it is also true that demons can force people through "consciousness projection" and then take them away. Here, only strong and high-ranking demons can do this, so breeding humans and taking them for fun is something only the strong can do.  "No wo

      The second time Evelyn saw Baymont, she lay dying in her bed, her eyes open, staring impassively at the red moon above her head. The moon stared at her coldly, like a blood-filled eyeball.  Since there was no alternation of day and night in the Old Realm, Evelyn had no idea how much time had passed, and could only roughly estimate that she had been stuck in this place for three or four days, based on her weakened physical condition.  Yes, since the last time Baymont had ritually closed the ten-meter-high, unknown-ton, soundproof door on his way out.  Evelyn hasn't been able to leave the compound since.  Baymont learns why: "......"  Baymont: "It was poorly thought out."  He looks at the off-white stone door, which he can open with a gentle push, and can't help but think: ...... Are all humans such fragile creatures that they can't survive without thoughtful care?  "Ah, is it my visions," Evelyn folded her hands on her flat stomach, looking as if she were lying flat on her bac

      After the incident when Evelyn couldn't push the door of her room and was trapped inside, resulting in near starvation, Baymont seems to have a greater awareness of human tenderness.  He arranges for Vanessa to become Evelyn's consort, lest she die of some strange and trivial matter before the succession ceremony.  Vanessa is the demoness with the poisonous snake on her head, sort of like Medusa, and even though she cuts off her arm, it doesn't take long for her body, which Evelyn finds extraordinarily sexy and powerful, to be as good as new.  Having company should have been a good thing; after all, Evelyn was full of doubts and curiosity about demons and the Old Realm, and there were some things she couldn't ask Baymont directly or indirectly, Evelyn could only plan to get words out of the demoness who hadn't moved an inch.  However, Evelyn realizes that she doesn't understand the demon's language at all, and Vanessa doesn't know anything about the common language of humans. Ev

      It wasn't long - Evelyn wasn't sure how long, but it certainly wasn't ten months, and it was terribly short - before Vanessa "gave birth" to a child. A baby.  Evelyn's feelings were subtle and mixed.  ...... She just became a mother? Uh, no, Vanessa had the baby, so she's the father?  Evelyn stared at the "little monster" in front of her and fell into a wonderful contemplation.  Although it's not good to use "little monster" to describe a newborn child, Evelyn couldn't find any other way to describe it than "little monster". ...... The "little monster" had a big head that was as long as its body, a thin, shriveled torso, limbs that were as shriveled as reptile arms and legs, and a small, bare tail ...... although it looked a bit like an extra tailbone.  Vanessa ate her hair, hoping to have a child with the same light blonde hair, but it didn't work out as she had hoped. "There were only a few strands of dry hair growing sparsely on the little monster's big, even bloated head, a

      There were a total of three moons in the Old Empire.  When Evelyn first came here, there was only a single red moon in the sky, but now it has been replaced by a cold blue moon. Baymont once said that when the red, blue, and purple moons rise together in the sky, the inheritance ceremony should begin.  As part of the inheritance, Evelyn was of course protected, or rather guarded, without the consent of Consul Baymont, she could not leave the great palace, most of the time Baymont gave her the advice that it was best to limit the scope of activities within this room.  Evelyn had been able to devote her time and attention to Xavier, but when Xavier was disposed of - probably eaten by Vanessa - she was forced to leave the room. Vanessa ate him, Evelyn wasn't sure, but when Xavier was disposed of - maybe by Vanessa, Evelyn wasn't sure - she went back to her old life, studying the language of demons.  With ordinary textbooks no longer sufficient for her needs, Evelyn politely asked B

      At the time, Evelyn was busy dealing with a messenger sent by her family.  In fact, Evelyn's identity in this world is not that of a commoner living in a frontier town, but rather the daughter of an earl's family, sent to a small frontier town far from the hustle and bustle of the imperial capital after the death of her nominal father, who was unpopular with her mother.  Evelyn's mother is a woman so obsessed with power and desire that gold, not blood, runs through her veins. She disliked Evelyn because she would never listen to her and would never sleep with a noble lord - from the time Evelyn was five years old, the woman calculated what she could get in exchange for her daughter's body.  As Evelyn grew older and more beautiful, the Countess, who had traveled around the imperial capital, seemed to remember that she had an older daughter, and she looked at Evelyn as if she were a fortune.  At that time, almost everyone thought that Evelyn would ride in a luxurious carriage and

      Sagon was Irzey's youngest son.  Baymont had mentioned him once, albeit in a few words, but it had given Evelyn a general impression of the youngest son - he must have taken a detour when he met him.  Evelyn had also asked Vanessa about the Demon King's sons, and when it had come to the three older brothers, Vanessa had looked normal, even respectful, and it was only when Sagon had been mentioned that Vanessa had shown a look of awe and disgust, and after only a few words she had closed her mouth and refused to talk about it any further.  And now Evelyn had finally met the Sagon she had always been curious about.  To be honest, the other party had a pretty, easy to love face, maybe because of his young age, he still had some baby fat on his face, and when he smiled, a small pear swirl showed on his left cheek, which seemed to make people feel close to him easily.  But those turquoise eyes were as cold as a crawling viper.  The huge contrast created a feeling of incompatibility

      It wasn't until he had pinched Evelyn's red cheeks that Sagon was satisfied and withdrew his hand - human skin is so soft, he thought to himself.  Evelyn covered her vaguely sore cheek and whispered, "Baymont will come looking for me when he realizes I'm gone."  "Wow," Sagon stared at her with a grin, "Are you threatening me with that Baymont guy? Baymont doesn't care about anything, I know him too well."  Evelyn continued, "But according to the tradition here, I am your father's legacy. Do you have the power to do whatever you want with me until the succession ceremony?"  Sagon touches her pinched red cheek and says lightly, "Honestly, I kinda like you, Queen. And I'm not really interested in any of the other heirs."  "You'll be my property by then anyway," Sagon gave her an oozing smile, "What difference does it make if I use it sooner or later?"  Evelyn: "............"  Seeing that Sagon seems to be determined to play with her as he pleases, Evelyn thinks about it and give

      The succession ceremony was soon upon us.  Under the interplay of the three moons, the night sky presented magnificent and marvelous colors. On the periphery of the quietly floating royal palace, all the high-ranking demons spread their huge and pitch-black batwings and peacefully waited for the ceremony to begin, the air filled with a tense and austere atmosphere.  Mappa had already waited with some impatience, and the densely packed eyes on her forehead looked towards the gray-white royal palace in unison. She pinched her fan, the declining face revealing a sneer under the cover of the fan, as Mapa said mockingly, "Geez, His Majesty the Quasi-Demon King couldn't have escaped, could he?"  Upon hearing this, Baymont, who was silent at the side, then immediately gave her a cold look.  "Don't look at me with those eyes." Probably because she felt that Evelyn had no hope of being able to win against the invincible Agarez, so facing the Consul's eyes, M

      This was also unexpected from Evelyn.  Evelyn had little expression on her face as she asked Baymont, "I thought it was said that no demon has made it back from the Abyss alive so far?"  Baymont's voice was cold, "It seems Agarez is the exception."  There was a distinctly more abyssal aura about Agarez, and Evelyn couldn't say what it felt like, except for the vague realization that Agarez wasn't quite a demon anymore-he was stoic and violent, calm and paranoid, contradictory in every look and every gesture, like an iceberg melting but dripping molten lava, like a fire burning in a snowfields, just not like a living, breathing creature capable of action and speech.  Wherever he went, the air became thin and distorted. Facing Agarez, who had returned from the abyss, every demon in the room felt as if they had been suffocated by death, and even Mapa, who had always been the boldest, spoke with trepidation and trembled as if she were walking on thin ic

      Evelyn defeated Mapa.  It was nothing surprising; from the moment Marpa caught a hint of familiarity in Evelyn's body and subconsciously developed an unconcealable fear, the demoness who had exposed herself to her weaknesses was doomed to become a loser.  But instead of choosing to eat her, Evelyn leaves her alive.  This made Mappa feel doubly humiliated - she couldn't look at humans and despised such powerless and weak races, so naturally she couldn't hold much respect for Evelyn, who was transformed from a human. Mappa would rather be inside Evelyn's stomach than be at her beck and call.  Evelyn seems to have read Mapa's mind.  She half crouched in front of the Archduchess as the other lay dying on the ground, half of her face burned by the black flames pressed against the ground, the other half hidden beneath her long, dark, misty hair.  Evelyn reached out and cupped Mapa's pointed jaw, forcing her to lift her face. Evelyn then go

      Evelyn is invited to the castle of Archduchess Mapa.  Mappa's castle was even more lavish than she had imagined - the ever-so-extravagant Archduchess was clearly more attached to her residence than the empty, pale palace.  As the servant guided her, Evelyn stepped through corridors paved with costly crystals that Evelyn had only seen in Agarez's treasure trove, said to be the bones of a rare and vicious beast that lived in the depths of the swamps, and from which every inch of the floor of Castle Mapa had been built.  In addition to this, other treasures were everywhere, and most of them were casually discarded on the floor or in corners, as if the owner who had taken them from them had given but a fraction of a second of his time to the love of them, and then threw them on the floor and turned his head and forgot all about them.  Complex, rich scents floated around the castle, and Evelyn could vaguely distinguish which of the beautiful carnivorous

      "Did you miss me?"  Sagon lay on his back on Evelyn's soft bed and seemed to be in a very happy mood as he crossed his thin two legs and shifted from one to the other. He propped his face up with one hand and stroked Hilda's hair with the other.  The small, thin Hilda was bound mercilessly, his palmed lips wide open, tearing at Hilda's hair with his sharp teeth. Hilda was in pain, but Sagon covered her mouth, so all she could do was stare at Sagon with a furious glare.  "Be careful," Evelyn warned instead of answering him, "you're hurting her."  Sagon did not comply with her intention to change the topic, but to say something inexplicably creepy and sweet to himself, "I have been thinking about you, no matter when or where. You disappeared for such a long time ...... honestly I thought you had died, and for that reason I shed quite a few sad tears ...... obviously I didn't even cry when my father died."  "But sometimes I think that you might

      This power was bizarre and surging, making him feel extremely unfamiliar.Baymont's breath stuttered, as if he had sensed the danger under the thin ice, and instantly realized what was going on.  Immediately after that, he turned his head expressionlessly and looked straight in the direction that Fang had left, his somewhat gloomy purple pupils abruptly narrowing.  Obviously, this force went straight to Evelyn with lightning speed.Baymont couldn't think in time, he subconsciously chased after her, his figure was as fast as a ghost that appeared and disappeared suddenly.  As he expected, the strange force did stop in front of Evelyn. It was a white demon he had never seen before, barely recognizable by race, its body sturdy and long and lean, its back hunched over, its slightly raised spine like a sharp hill that stretched all the way down to a long, thin, sharp tail that finally dissolved into white bone.  Its head was also covered by hard white bone

      Ruins full of corpses are not a suitable place to live, Evelyn intends to refurbish the dilapidated palace, when faced with this proposal, Baymont does not say anything, but just stares at her for a moment with what feels like an odd gaze, as if speculating on her intentions.  Evelyn saw his skepticism and said in a brisk voice, "Don't look at me like that, isn't it your wish that I stay?"  Baymont denied coldly and quickly, "That was before."  Evelyn blinked, she was about to say something when she was interrupted by Baymont's voice.Baymont said with a blank face, "Do what you want to do whatever you want to do, don't bother me."  After that, Baymont glanced at Evelyn with grayish purple pupils and turned away.  Hilda leaned carefully behind the pillar, and she watched Baymont's figure disappear from view before she dared to boldly trot out from behind it, looking up at Evelyn with two bright eyes.  "Will you stay here all the time?

      Evelyn finds fresh water that can help Baymont cleanse his body, and despite the palace resembling a barren wasteland, some of the infrastructure is surprisingly still functional.  Evelyn did some simple cleaning, and began to help Baymont clean his body.Baymont's body, Evelyn has seen it many times, but Evelyn is still the first time he has become so thin body ...... Demons rely on devouring their own kind to gain strength, and if they reduce feeding, it will naturally become weakened.  Evelyn also noticed the stitch-like marks on both of his arms; these ordinary-looking, human-like hands were certainly not grown normally, and Evelyn guessed that Baymont had probably used some kind of smelting to forge them, then cut off his own hands and finally sewed them on.

      Almost from the moment she saw Hilda, Evelyn was sure of her identity.  This could be because of that wonderful bloodline; after all, Hilda was Baymont's child conceived from her blood, and the closer they were to each other, the more deeply the part of Hilda that flowed through her and originally belonged to Evelyn would call to her.  Evelyn's first sight of Hilda was not taken away from her by the other woman's rare long pale blonde hair; quite the opposite, her vision was slightly dazzled, and a subtle sound surged intermittently in her ears - the sound of blood flowing through her veins.  The primal blood ties of the demons drew them to each other, called them to each other, and even though Hilda had deliberately hidden it and Evelyn had no intention of admitting it, she still knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that Hilda was her child, that there was a minuscule part of Hilda that came from her, and that all beyond that had been given to and shaped for he
